Freedom
Summary
Some people come from places where their voices will not be heard. This is about a girl who seeks freedom similar to how it is in the United States.
My brown skin radiates with heat
The hot African sun beating down upon my hut
I close my eyes
I see bright lights, the Statue of Liberty
I see the symbol of freedom
People of different colors
People whose voices are heard
People who are free
Why can’t I be like them?
Why can’t my voice be heard?
Where is my freedom at?
This land I am in
Women are not free
Women have no voice
One day I will be free
I will travel to America
The land where you can
become something bigger,
become something greater
Land of choice, land of voice
That’s what America means
Land of the Free
